Building Products magazine names Rheem Solaraide as one of 2009’s Most Valuable Product (MVP) Award recipients.  The 2009 MVP Awards reward innovation, efficiency and the simple “cool” factor when it comes to building products.  Covering a diverse range of products from solar water heating to kitchen faucets, the MVP awards single out the best product for each category.  Judges determine the value of the product according to specific needs such as; making one’s job easier; speedy installation; uniqueness, etc.

Utilizing convection, the Solaraide passive solar water heater operates entirely without pumps or controllers.  The system can be used alone or to supplement conventional hot-water systems by pre-warming the water. Solaraide's freeze-proof heat-transfer fluid absorbs and delivers heat energy, even on cold and overcast days and the closed-loop setup also prevents freezing.  It is available in a 47-gallon or 80-gallon model.
